When Did You Realize: We’re Screwed

Leslie Jones, MLK, and The Embrace

Comedy is the most precarious of arts. One person’s joke is another’s insult. And yet, comedians enjoy wide latitude in our culture because, let’s face it, we’re a screwed-up society, and gifted comedians tap into the humor of our dissonant truths.
